Re: Installing two versions of Xcode on a Mac
KMT Sep 21, 2015 5:03 PM (in response to af_cgt)Hi:
I have both Xcode (v7) and Xcode-Beta (7.1) installed, no issues. And I note your concerns from v4.x, etc.
I'd suggest to not get creative - install to your boot drive, don't rename Xcode when installing and don't move it outside of /Applications without good reason.
And as always, as stuf happens, devs need to be sure to have a tested and reliable backup in place at all times.
Good luck.
Ken

Re: Installing two versions of Xcode on a Mac
OOPer Sep 21, 2015 6:02 PM (in response to af_cgt)I have Xcode5.1.1, Xcode6.4, Xcode7 and 7.1 beta. And Xcode 7 and 7.1 beta working without problems.
(I find some odd behavior, when back to 6.4.)
What I care for installing multiple versions of Xcode are:
- Update production version of Xcode through App Store.
(So, the production version always have path as /Applicaitons/Xcode.app.)
- Rename the downloaded beta version of Xcode before installing or invokation.
(Copy and extract the downloaded beta somewhere outside Applications, rename it, move the renamed `XcodeN.Mbeta.app` to /Applications .)
- Do not open two versions at the same time.
- Restart your Mac after installation.
- Start the Xcode you want to use before double-clicking the .xcodeproj file.
- Do not rename or move the Xcode.app (or its renamed version) once you invoked it.
I'm not sure these are all needed or sufficient. But till now it's Ok for `7` versions.

Re: Installing two versions of Xcode on a Mac
af_cgt Sep 22, 2015 12:25 PM (in response to af_cgt)It looks like they now name the "beta" directory something else ("Xcode-Beta (7.1)"), which they didn't do before. That should solve most of the issues.
